ProBlogger: An Unexpected Piece of Advice that Will Help You Grow Your Blog

An Unexpected Piece of Advice that Will Help You Grow Your Blog Posted: 12 Jul 2015 01:00 PM PDT Today’s challenge in our 31 days to build a better blog podcast series is a bit different, and hopefully – a lot of fun. It’s to not blog at all! Today I want you to leave your electronics behind and go to your local mall or shopping centre. Why? Because it will put you out in the real world where real experiences will help give you real content. It will also ensure you brush your hair for the day! In this episode I’ll go into detail about what happens when I do this, and why I now recommend it to everyone. I also outline the things I’ve learned and how it’s had an impact on the way I blog now. I also tell you how to get the most out of your visit so it doesn’t just feel like a day wasted in a consumerist vacuum. Listen to this challenge here or find it on iTunes and Stitcher (just look for episode 13). Enjoy!

ProBlogger: 31DBBB Day 12: Develop an Editorial Calendar (and How to Do So!)

---

31DBBB Day 12: Develop an Editorial Calendar (and How to Do So!) Posted: 11 Jul 2015 01:02 PM PDT So yesterday your 31DBBB Challenge was to brainstorm 10 posts for your blog (you could come up with more, but 10 was the minimum!) and today we will be building on that – developing an editorial calendar. This is going to serve as the next week of content on your blog. Ultimately these two exercises will get you on the road to setting up a publication schedule you can carry on, specifying what kind of content you’ll publish on what days. If you already have an editorial calendar, I recommend you use this day to review it – how has it been working? Check in your stats to see if your most popular posts are being scheduled on your biggest traffic days. How have the comments been? Have the posts been resonating with readers? Have you enjoyed writing them? In today’s episode I outline what I think are the benefits of editorial calendars, and briefly touch on some of the tools you can use to do so – but really, what I’m ultimately encouraging is just a simple calendar you can use for the following week. I’ll take you through the steps I use to develop mine. Feel free to share your editorial calendar in the comments On todays show notes. Don’t forget to tune in tomorrow for a new topic.
